Turkey to be exempted from US sanctions on Iran: minister

The Trump administration on Friday announced the reimposition of all U.S. sanctions on Iran that had been lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal - but with an exemption for eight oil-buying nations that could include China.

New tough sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector, imposed by the United States, come into force on Monday.

"It's basically magical thinking".

The ministerial committee official said Iraq's finance ministry had set up an account with a state-run bank in which Baghdad would deposit the amounts owed to Iran for the imports, in Iraqi dinars.

He later said the ultimate goal was to stop all Iranian crude exports.
